Data Igloo User Guide Folder Redirection | 25 Folder Redirection The Folder Redirection feature moves a folder to any NTFS volume or partition on the computer. This is useful when Deep Freeze is installed. This feature ensures that data in a folder on a Frozen drive is always saved on the Thawed drive, thereby retaining the data during a reboot. The Folder Redirection tab is displayed as follows: Data Igloo does not allow redirecting to the Windows folder or any system folders. Both the source and target drives must be NTFS partitions. If an error occurs during the redirection process, Data Igloo will revert to the original state without any changes to the data or settings.
